Looks like the "Midas" touch has turned to stone.

AARP is losing members by the tens of thousands since the president announced that AARP had endorsed obamacare. Of course AARP says it's no big deal... so... there is a conservative alternative group to represent seniors to our government that I thought you might be interested in knowing about... since it's no big deal to AARP.

I will be closing out my account with AARP and joining the knee-jerk reaction group... with the other tens of thousands.

CBS Highlights AARP Losing Members Over ObamaCare

On Monday's CBS Evening News, correspondent Sharyl Attkisson filed a report highlighting the recent defections of thousands of AARP members to the more conservative American Seniors Association (ASA), because of the perceived support by the AARP for ObamaCare. The report recounted that Obama recently had to correct a claim that the AARP supports his plan, while some are suspicious that the group may support the President privately, but are unwilling to admit to doing so publicly.

Substitute anchor Maggie Rodriguez noted that Obama had to backtrack on claiming AARP support as she introduced the story: "President Obama once thought he had the AARP on board, as he put it, on his plan for health care reform, but he has since had to back off on that claim."

Attkisson started by relating that many AARP members have recently left the group, with a considerable number flocking to the ASA: "CBS News has learned that up to 60,000 people have cancelled their AARP membership since July 1 angered over the group's position on health care. ... Many are switching to the American Seniors Association, a group that calls itself the conservative alternative." ....
